I am about to job shadow a IBM worker tomorrow. He works directly with the computer chips....?

Question

I am really pumped for it. What questions should I ask him? I have to have about 10 questions to ask him and possibly his supervisor.

Thanks for your time!

I am a High School Student.

Answer 1

Depends on your background, are you high school or college, if your college are you cs, ce or ee?

If you give more details, Ill give you a good answer. With knowing your background I could tell you how deep to make your questions.

Ask about multicore and multithreading.
Ask about the gaming chips, IBM just did the big 3 for PS3, Wii, and 360. Ask about other uses of Cell processor in Ps3.
Ask about ASIC chips vs Custom processors.
Ask about schools and majors they hire from, internships, and programs like ExtremeBlue.
Ask about additional classes such as business you should take, and also team building and leadership.
Ask about the future of online gaming and web 2.0 and web3.0 and how this will affect the future of chip development,architecture.

Then change your avatars name to Dr. Low Power, chip people like low power.

Since your in high school ask about his background, people like to talk about themselves, and steps you should take now if you are interested in this sort of career and also competing in the global workforce.
